"Stargate" fans will be transported back to its beginnings with the new digital series "Stargate Origins," airing Feb. 15 on MGM's streaming service, aptly named Stargate Command.
A new teaser trailer, posted Wednesday, reveals more about the main characters, as well as the unveiling of the circular portal that transports them to a different time and place.

Other cast members in the trailer include Philip Alexander, Salome Azizi, Michelle Jubilee Gonzalez, Daniel Rashid, Sarah Navratil, Shvan Aladin, Justin Michael Terry, Lincoln Werner Hoppe, Aylam Orian, Tonatiuh Elizarraraz and Derek Chariton.
